Oreo No Bake Vegan Cheesecake

Recipe submitted by mrswjperez, 09/05/09 http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=29463.0 Ingredients (use vegan versions): 19 stuffed sandwich cookies (I use Oreos) 2 1/2 cups vegan whipped topping 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted 1 - 8 ounce container vegan cream cheese 3/4 cup sugar Directions: 1) Crush 15 crushed cookies and place in a pie pan. Add melted vegan butter. Toss crumbs around to coat. Use the back of a spoon to press buttered crumbs on to pie pan to make a crust. Put the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling. 2) In a large mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients except the leftover sandwich cookies and mix thoroughly. Spoon into your pie pan and set in the freezer for at least 1 hour. 3) Top with additional whipped topping and garnish with another sandwich cookie. ENJOY!

I have contemplated making a cheesecake out of one before, and now I just might have to try it! Logged

So, I wouldn't consider them vegan. i think if i took the time to call every single number on the back of every single package to ask what kind of sugar they use i might just lose my mind ... i always use vegan sugar when i have the option to though... to each his/her own Logged

Anyway, I used a package of silken tofu instead of whipped cream and then I baked it for a half hour. It kind of defeated the whole no-bake idea but holy moly it was incredible. I let it cool for a half hour after taking it out of the oven and then I stuck it in the freezer until we were ready to eat it. Thennn, I drizzled it with wax orchards fudge sauce and topped it off with soy whipped cream. Prettyy good for my first cheesecake attempt. PS. My omnivorous parents LOVED it. Logged

It's so good and completely vegan. it makes enough for any pie, so especially for this i think it would work! goodluck finding it, (i'm from wisconsin) and i'm not sure if i've seen it before moving here, or if i have just never noticed.
